When Li Ziyu heard that he was going to Zhenhaimen, in addition to his baton, he also put on his shoulder the police knife that had been hanging by the table. The latest and fastest update The shape of this sword is similar to the Japanese sword commonly used by the Ming army. Li Ziyu, who came from a military household, is naturally familiar with it. But by nature, he doesn't like to walk around with a knife, so he usually doesn't carry a knife when patrolling.
"You'd better not bring this thing with you," Gao Chongjiu said. "It's inconvenient to use. If something happens, let's just run away."
The Dan people are regarded as untouchables and are deeply separated from the people on the shore. They are prone to conflicts if something happens. Danhu are wandering and can escape by boat at any time, so their fear of the government and the law is less than that of ordinary people. If they disagree with each other, the possibility of a sword-fist encounter is extremely high. Once a conflict breaks out in a place where households gather, the government official will not be able to get away with it.
Gao Chongjiu was cautious and called a few more "brothers". According to the past saying, these people are "white-bodied" and "public servants". When Liu Xiang was purging and retaining personnel, such white-bodied "public servants" could come or go as they pleased as long as they had no "blood debts" or "serious historical issues." Most people choose to "retire". This will prevent Australians from having to settle accounts later in the year.
These people are all familiar with the situation around Zhenhaimen, and some of them are from Dan people themselves. In short, they are all people who may be useful.
A group of people came to Zhenhaimen. The Ba Dao team has already assembled. But only ten people came - the National Army's mission itself was already a heavy load. The squad leader saluted first and said in unsophisticated Mandarin, "Please give me your order."
Li Ziyu has long known that there are Japanese pirate troops in the Australian Army, but this is the first time he has had close contact with them. I saw these "Japanese pirates" all short and stout, with double swords on their waists and rifles on their backs, and they all looked fierce. Taking such a group of tigers and wolves on a mission, the originally anxious mood calmed down a lot.
Gao Chongjiu did not come out immediately. He waited for a while until someone came in from outside Zhenhai Gate and whispered to Gao Chongjiu: "He is still there, it's the Maojia Inn by the river."
Gao Chongjiu nodded.
"There's something weird about this inn!" the visitor reminded in a low voice, "Master Jiu, when you do something, just lower your head and walk away in a hurry.
Gao Chongjiu turned back to Li Ziyu and said, "He's still here, let's go!"
After saying that, he led the people out of Zhenhaimen and went straight to the inn the informant mentioned.
This area is the beach of the Pearl River. There are no river embankments in this time and space. When there is a flood, the river water can directly reach the front of Zhenhai Gate. The ground was all sandy, and as far as the eye could see, the branches along the river were densely packed with small boats of the Dan family. Fishing nets and rags from people on the boats were hanging out by the river.
Many low shacks were built haphazardly along the city wall, and the buildings were so densely packed that the eaves almost touched the eaves. The light is dim. Various smells and sounds instantly impacted Li Ziyu's senses.
The strongest smell in the air is the smell of fish. There are not only many fishing pens here, but also many small shops that make fish balls. Whether it's a fishing pen or a fish ball shop, fish are being killed and deboned in the street. The street is a mess. Dirty water mixed with blood, scales and internal organs is flowing everywhere, and the smell is unpleasant.
In this fishy smell, there is also a little aroma: the smell that comes out when the fish balls are spread and cooked. Li Ziyu frowned secretly, the environmental sanitation of this place is really bad. It's just another world compared to the city.
Outside Zhenhai Gate are slum households, not Dan households. Dan households are not allowed to build houses on the shore according to the rules. Most of the residents are refugees from various places. Because it is located on the riverside, close to the gathering area of Dan households, there are many fishing pens, boat gear and fishing gear shops for purchasing catches here, specializing in the business of Dan households. The two sides communicated with each other and often fought. As usual, the government is indifferent to such areas. As long as there is no large-scale violence that causes mass deaths and injuries, they basically let it go. Therefore, the security environment here is very complex. Even though the Australians carried out large-scale security inspections after their arrival, the situation has not fundamentally improved, but the rate of vicious cases has dropped a lot.
The geographical environment and the convenience of people's movement make this place somewhat like a "lawless place". The latest and fastest update, providing free gambling, private prostitution, and selling stolen goods. All kinds of illegal activities are quite rampant here. Pickpockets, thieves, crooks, vagabonds, flower photographers, and human traffickers often use this place as their foothold. Li Ziyu is not too unfamiliar with this place - the Public Security Bureau regards this place as a key area. Although he has never been there, he has seen a lot of local materials.
As soon as their group performed, they attracted the attention of people on the street. Gao Chongjiu didn't look forward or backward, just told him to go quickly, and headed straight for the inn - news traveled very quickly in this place, and once the traffickers were alerted, the Maojia Inn would be right on the riverside, throwing people into the Danjia boat and sailing away. That's really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, the place in this area is not big, and we arrived at the door of Maojia Inn in a short time. This so-called inn is just a small courtyard with yellow mud walls and thatched roof, almost adjacent to the tidal flat by the river. More than a dozen fishing racks were filled with dace. There was an unpleasant fishy smell in the air. There were a few idle men squatting at the door, gambling on leaf cards. Seeing a group of police and national troops suddenly arriving, they immediately dispersed.
"Quick, surround us!" Gao Chongjiu shouted loudly. After that, he led the people and rushed inside.
The waiter who was greeting guests at the door was so frightened that he stumbled inside and shouted: "A bad man is here!"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out of the house in a panic: "Damn it! I didn't know your boss was here."
Gao Chongjiu said: "Are you the boss?"
"Yes, yes, it's just the little one. I don't know what the master is doing."
"The police are handling the case. I want to question the tenants one by one, you lead the way!"
The boss's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and tried to run away. Gao Chongjiu saw this clearly, and knocked him to the ground with a sweeping kick: "Tie him up!" He shouted, and a "brother" immediately rushed over and took something out of his sleeves. A rope was brought out and the person was tied up in two or two strokes.
"Look! Be careful to commit suicide!" Gao Chongjiu said loudly.
"Brother" slapped him, and the boss's mouth was immediately covered with blood, and his chin had been removed.
The eagle caught the geese these few times, as fast as lightning. Li Ziyu was startled. Before he could react, Gao Chongjiu sniffed his nose again and shouted sternly: "Hold the door, no one is allowed to leave!" Looking again, Gao Chongjiu had sweat on his forehead, his face was much more solemn than before, and he held the iron ruler tightly in his hand. Li Ziyu quickly drew out his baton and got ready for a fight.
The inn was immediately in chaos, but fortunately the National Army had surrounded them outside. Anyone who came out would be knocked down with the butt of a rifle and tied up directly.
Gao Chongjiu didn't care about the people inside and outside the courtyard. He took Li Ziyu directly to the thatched sheds in a row of "guest rooms" and kicked open the doors one by one to search.
Most of the rooms were empty. When I opened Room No. 3, the light in the room was dim. I could vaguely see a young woman and two girls curled up on the bamboo couch. The head is scattered and the appearance is weak. Seeing them break in, there was a look of horror on their faces.
"National police!" Li Ziyu shouted, but Gao Chongjiu shouted: "Guangzhou Prefecture is handling the case! Don't be afraid!"
At this time, the door of the room was opened, and Li Ziyu saw clearly that the two teenage girls on the bamboo couch were not Ming girls! His heart suddenly felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.
"This is not Akira" he whispered.
Gao Chongjiu looked solemn: "Fortunately it's not Mingnu!" After saying that, he left Li Ziyu and rushed out to the next guest room.
Li Ziyu Zhang Er Jingang couldn't figure it out. They just came here for Akira, so how can they say "Fortunately they are not Akira"? He was wondering when suddenly the young woman on the bamboo couch rushed over, knelt at his feet and grabbed his calf tightly:
"Master! Master! Help!"
Li Ziyu had no choice but to say: "Don't be afraid! We are the National Police of the Song Dynasty! We are handling the case! If you have anything to say, get up and say it slowly."
"Yes," although the woman didn't know what a policeman was, she heard him say that he was "handling a case" and knew that he was a public servant, so she quickly said: "Yes, yes, this slave was abducted by a kidnapper." She didn't know if she was afraid when she said this. Regretful or grateful, I burst into tears.
Li Ziyu was worried about Ming Nu's whereabouts, but at this time he could only comfort her: "Don't cry. If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you later when we get back to the station." He missed Ming Nu and asked again with a glimmer of hope, "Except you Are there any other abducted people like these two children?"
"I heard there is one." The young woman twitched and said, "I heard there is a boy. He is locked up next door."
Just as Li Ziyu was disappointed, Gao Chongjiu hurried in again and said, "Ayu, come and take a look. This is a big fucking case!" The expression on his face changed when he said this.
Li Ziyu had no choice but to follow him out, only to see seven or eight people tied up in the yard. The sword-drawing team drew their swords out of their sheaths one by one, and they were on guard on all sides with murderous intent, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"I've already asked a brother to go back to the station and call the police." Gao Chongjiu said, "This inn is really weird!"
Li Ziyu was confused by his nonsensical words: This seems to be the den of a personal trafficker, what's so weird about it?
Seeing the confusion on his face, Gao Chongjiu said: "You're lucky, you got into a big case." He lit a cigarette as he spoke: "Do you know how to harvest raw materials?"
Li Ziyu was shocked. He had heard about this kind of case from his retained husband, and said, "What?!" Then he quickly asked, "Mingnu is not here, right?"
"She's not here. Fortunately, she's not here, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep peacefully in the future." Gao Chongjiu blew out a smoke ring, "At first I thought I just caught a few traffickers by mistake, but I didn't expect such a business! He looked around, "No wonder this inn was built in such a precarious place. They had no intention of staying any longer. They were always ready to run away!" 8
